Damn Shame!


12 year old Deamonte Driver, of Maryland, lost his life because of a toothache. Before you scream negelect, Deamonte's mother lost the medicaid benefits for her children. They also had to drive miles away to find a Dentist who would take Medicaid. This is a classic example of the need for Universal healthcare. Deamonte's story is not unique and won't be the last. People please wake up! We need to overhaul the White House. We should not be losing possible future leaders to toothaches. In case you were wondering, the abcessed teeth released the bacteria that went to his brain, causing death. Keep his family in your prayers.
